Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 60 grams crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- sea salt, to taste
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, cream the butter until it becomes smooth and slightly fluffy.
Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, mixing until well incorporated without overworking it to maintain a few small chunks.
Add the freshly ground black pepper, lemon juice, and finely chopped parsley to the butter and blue cheese mixture.
Mix well again, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Taste the mixture and add sea salt as needed, keeping in mind that the blue cheese is already salty.
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on your countertop and spoon the blue cheese butter mixture into the center.
Shape the mixture into a log, about 1 inch in diameter, by rolling the plastic wrap around it tightly and twisting the ends to seal.
Refrigerate the blue cheese butter log for at least one hour to solidify and for the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, slice the butter into discs and serve over your favorite dishes such as steak, vegetables, or bread.
Store any unused butter in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
